AN ADLER CHRISTMAS

I couldn't help but notice "t'is the season to shop!" The streets are busy and the malls are mayhem. The only thing keeping me sane amongst the chaos is my chai tea latte; I couldn't help but squeal with delight when I saw this : Jonathan Adler (RED) card. (oooh, Adler is always delightful!)

Each time you use your (RED) card to purchase anything at Starbucks, they'll donate 5 cents to help fight AIDS in Africa. Check out JoinRed.com

LIBERTY OF LONDON FOR TARGET

 Last night my cousin and I spent hours winding our way through Target ...and it was wonderful! I am absolutely smitten with Liberty Of London for Target. The paisley prints, the softs pastels, the clean contrast of  black and white. Everything about it evokes charm and sophistication, while Target keeps it inexpensive and fun. Liberty is rather lady like, but slap a dash in any room and you'd have instant charm. The paisley prints evoke memories of the sixties, while the flower prints remind me of my mothers english garden, and all the colour combination are punchy without being over powering. 

  

                             
 
 
  
     

  

OCEAN SAFE

When I was a munchkin I watched a movie called "White Squall" and from that moment on I was absolutely tormented by the idea of ever getting on a boat. Now that I am older, wiser and know how to swim - I've developed a liking for boats and a love for nautical decor. So I thought I'd share some images that evoke the emotions of open water without having to hit the waves.

GOTCH'YA ON ETSY

On the hunt for vintage fabric I came across "Hazel and Hunter" on Etsy. Julie is the mastermind behind all of the rescued furniture. Based out of Montreal she's turning forgotten vintage and antique pieces into centre pieces for your home. Here are a few of my favorites.  

Simone Victorian Chair - $430

Montmartre Pillow - $42

Nico Mid-Century Teak - $120 

I've been searching for some time - looking for pillows for our couch. There are so many options and so many varying degrees of price. But this weekend while shopping with a client I came across a "Bargain Buy" for myself. 

Home Sense - "Navy Pillow" - $14.99

Home Outfitters - "Gold & Red Pillows"- $9.99  clearance

IS IT POUF OR POUFFE?

Living in a small space is much like living on a boat. Every piece needs a function, and if it's multi functional - that's even better!

Take the pouf for example - The perfect party piece for guests to cozy up and relax with a beer, the extra seating is essential in any small space. It can also double as an ottoman or a side table. They can be visually interesting, always inviting and easy to move around - why not pouf?

" Flocks Pouf " - Hand knit using wool from New Zealand sheep.

" Rattan Pouf " - Endless possibilities, just wipe it clean.

" West Elm "- So many choices, sheepskin, suede, hemp, or dhurrie. 

" Traditional Moroccan " - Hand stitched leather. 

PILLOWS - MADELAINE WEINRIBS

Pillows are the perfect accessory. Put a graphic, funky or pretty pillow anywhere and you have instant oomph. They're excellent for adding colour, texture and give great artistic touch. I especially like these pillows from "Madelaine Weinrib." Her designs seem tell to a story and have inspired me to find some fun thrift store scarves and make some pillows of my own.
